Awakening through Grief: My Story

Great News everyone!

I’ve just finished writing My Story complete with photos and all; and uploaded it onto my website. When you have a spare minute (or 30, it’s pretty long!) – have a read and let me know what you think.

I’ve shared A LOT! Some of you will cringe at my candidness. And I understand and accept this. I must tell you however that it is simple: sharing my story makes me truly ACCESSIBLE and REAL.

And that NOW is the time on this planet to drop our ‘professional masks’ and stand strong in our experiences – those exact same gifts that have shaped us – so that we can forge ahead synergistically and manifest the change we WILL onto this planet.

Here are some extracts:

From my Heart to Yours…

My First Big Tsunami of Grief

We all have a ‘life changing moment’ at some point in our lives. The moment from when our entire perspective on life changes.

For some it marks an ‘awakening’, the point from which the beauty of creation reveals itself and life takes on a whole new meaning.

For others it marks a decline into despair, the point from which the burdens of life are finally insurmountable.

Let me tell you that both are equally valid and right as per your experience…

For me, my LIFE CHANGING MOMENT was:

LOSING GEE– my sister Georgina

…

Then we heard him. It was my father. We heard his sobbing as he was coming up the footpath to the front door.

It was at this moment that we realized our stories were changed for good. It was our Gee lying there in that morgue. Gone just like that: 34 years of age. A life cut short. A motherless child in her wake…

And so the enormity of our grief emerged through the black cloud of October 21st 2007.

…

A never ending stream of well-meaning mourners reminding us of our unrelenting loss.

…

My grief had transformed me!

It had shattered the lifelong slumber infused by compliance and conformity…

I began to feel sheer AUTHENTIC gratitude to everyone and everything. And of course to my sister, for ‘sacrificing’ her ‘holiday’ for our transformation. You see, even grief – or rather loss – from this platform, is experienced differently.

Quantum physics tells us everything exists as waves of possibility. And it truly is a POWERFUL realisation when you understand the POTENTIAL of PURE EXISTENCE.

Now, almost 8 years later, I’m still LIVING MY LIFELONG HOLIDAY. Not necessarily lying on a beach, sun-baking; but living as a co-creator of life; and receiving all my experiences with an awareness of a larger reality beyond this one.
